Chapter 489 Xiuman's Magic Strategy
Xuman, who had been fighting with the cavalry on the ground, had already noticed Ivan's abnormality.
To be precise, when the three elves started fighting against Keang, he was struggling over whether he should go up to provide support.
But the cavalry that trapped them was too difficult to deal with.
Even with his unpopular profession, he couldn't get any advantage in front of those cavalrymen.
It was not until Ivan turned into a big white cat and was stabbed in the eye by a spear that Xiuman finally found an opportunity and broke out with the cover of Isa.
However, when he stood in front of Cohen, he realized how big the gap was between himself and the other party.
Xiuman laughed at himself and shook his head.
If I hadn't spent so much energy on handling the government affairs of Huiyao City, I would have been promoted to Legendary by now...
Alas, I guess even if I were promoted to the legendary rank, I would still not be a match for this armored monster.
Didn’t you see that three of those elf gods were swept away by a spear?
Cohen, who was hit on the back of the neck by Isa's horizontal cut, reached out to straighten his helmet.
The attack from the abyss creature was like a tickle and did not cause him any harm at all.
However, the noble human in front of him did arouse his interest.
"The bloodline of the original humans?"
The red light under Cohen's helmet flashed rapidly.
"Why didn't I realize before that there are still traces of the original human bloodline in the North...
Well, offering you to Lord Tyr would earn me greater rewards.
After so many years, the original humans in the kingdom are almost extinct.
You are a scarce commodity now..."
After saying this, without even looking at the giant white tiger rolling on the ground in pain, Cohen stretched out his huge palm and grabbed towards Xuman.
"Originally... Bah, it's all Ivan's fault. He just taught me some vulgar words."
The demonic energy in Xiuman's body surged, and immediately formed a dark red energy around his body.
Then, his feet seemed to be accelerated by magic, and he moved quickly to avoid Cohen's palm.
But it's not over yet.
The sorcerer was an extremely unpopular profession in the Third Age. After an era of development, other professions had already spread throughout the entire plane, while the sorcerer was almost extinct.
The reason is... this job is too expensive.
A sorcerer's advancement depends on the reserves of magic energy in his body.
This guy doesn't need to rely on pleasing a certain god or registering on Mystra's magic network to master magic.
Instead, like the half-dragons before him, he stored the energy to activate spells in his body.
The cost of making a bottle of potion that needs to be taken daily to prevent the magic energy in the body from destroying it is enough to support an average family for a whole year.
In addition to potions, props and materials containing magical energy are also extremely expensive.
If there wasn't a Nield mining area that happened to be within the territory of Huiyao City, Xiuman would probably still be a beginner.
However, there is a reason why it is expensive.
The sorcerer's spell release is extremely fast. No incantations or spell materials are needed. A thought or a whisper can unleash the corresponding magical spell.
It is very possible for a sorcerer full of magic power to fight a great wizard across levels - as long as the sorcerer is not an idiot.
And Xiuman is not a fool at all.
He is quite smart, so smart that he can make the three forces of Huiyao City run around in circles by himself.
At this moment, his cleverness was fully revealed.
"Command: shock!"
A ball of constantly intertwining magic energy hit Cohen's face, causing this tall human to be stunned for a moment.
The power of the Eight-Ring Arcane was extremely great, and its speed, enhanced by magic energy, was so fast that it could not be captured by the naked eye. Even Cohen, who could rebound spells, could not react in time.
Immediately afterwards, another ball of magic energy with a gray and rotten smell was thrown at Cohen's chest.
[Finger of Death], the strongest single-target instant death spell below the legendary level, is highly recognizable.
Rillifane, who was walking away from the battlefield, recognized him at a glance.
However, in the old skeleton's cracked eye sockets, the soul flame still beat restlessly.
This human turned out to be an extremely unpopular combat profession——
It is estimated that among all the beings present, only this human's spell projectiles will not be rebounded by the armored monster.
But this is not enough, far from enough.
The energy of that armor will dilute all spell effects.
Besides... even if the human in the armor really died, the armor can still move independently...
Thinking of this, the old skeleton turned back again, shouting loudly at Xiuman while running.
"Restrict his movement! This guy is not afraid of offensive magic!"
After saying that, a lush magical energy was squeezed out from his exhausted body and thrown at Xiuman.
[Strong Restoration] can restore all spell slots and health points of the recipient, and restore the recipient's energy to the best state.
Commonly known as taking a nap.
Sure enough, Cohen's body just shook slightly, and he grabbed Xiuman again as if nothing had happened.
But this time, Xuman's speed was faster than before.
After all, the effect of "taking a nap" is not nonsense, his spirit is in a state of high excitement.
Without hesitation, Shuman listened to Rillifane's advice and changed his spell strategy.
This time, it took him quite a while to condense his magic energy.
However, the spells that shot out from the fingertips were still as fast as lightning.
Invisible transparent walls appeared quietly from midair, and then slammed heavily around Keang;
Even transparent force fields connected to the walls appeared above the head and underground.
"Well done, human boy!
Your magic is much more reliable than that guy who turns into a cat!"
The old skeleton has come closer.
Naturally, he could recognize this spell.
The seventh-ring arcane [Force Field Prison] can use a transparent cube to imprison the objects inside in all directions within the target range.
Even for a wizard with legendary power, it would take a lot of time to break the force field.
Not to mention warriors who only know how to use their muscles.
The old skeleton whose soul flame seemed to be laughing walked to the wall formed by the transparent force field.
He tapped his fingers in front of him a few times, watching as a fierce red light flashed beneath the Seventh Knight's helmet.
"Okay, take your little maid with you and evacuate quickly.
It will take at least half a day for this guy to come out from inside—"
With a loud bang, the old skeleton's head suddenly exploded.
A spear glowing red pierced his head.
"Stupid Elf God..."
Cohen held a spear in one hand and punched hard with the other, smashing the wall on this side into pieces.
"I actually thought these ordinary spells could trap me...
You have no brains at all—oh! You are a dead spirit, you don’t have brains…”
